The Campbells Audience Reviews 3r4x3n

Interesteg What makes it different from others?

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

rebeccaeweber I loved this show when I first saw it. I taped as many of the episodes as I could and I still have them to watch whenever I want to. Though I do with they would be released on DVD as my copies are not the best.I do know that the information listed on this page, as to how many episodes there were and how many episodes people appeared in, is wrong but I don't know the correct information so I can't submit a correction... all I know is that I have about 75 episodes on tape with no repeats.If anybody knows of a site that has more information, specifically more correct information, on this show I would love to know about it.

itg1910 Did not know that this series was filmed at all. but since I changed from Rogers to a stilt dish,, I can see this excellent program. Living in southern Ontario, around the places where the show plays it is great to see what the first settlers must have had to live with,I really think that was a great undertaking to bring something like that to the screen.I have seen all the programs now at least 2 and some 3 times, and I enjoy them every time,It should be on CVD I would buy them, for my kids and also shown in all schools in the district. for history lessons.thanks again to all the actors to bring it so much to life.the traveler

northword To me, this is one of the best shows ever. I'm sad that it wasn't on longer & that I wasn't able to catch the original run through in its entirety due to being away at college, where there wasn't cable. However, I'm now able to see all the episodes & it's renewed my enjoyment of the show.This series featured some of Canada's best acting talent and was a real showcase for them.This show is historically accurate as well and really brought to light many of the things that pioneers had to go through in Canada's harsh, yet beautiful, landscape. It also brought forth that, despite some people holding on to class, people worked together and, eventually, most people realised that we're all the same and that we're all equal.I really like how the show treated all people, no matter their creed, race or what-have-you, the same. No one was prejudiced against, and stereotypes were done away with.This show is something that everyone can enjoy, a true family show, and that is truly lacking these days. If I was able to get DVDs of this show, it's one that I would most definitely spend my money on.

dthdc1 When I first saw this program, I knew this took place in the 19th Century and they used the words "THE WAR" and "Yankees" a lot. So I knew they were referring to a war against the Yankees but being an American, I thought this occurred after the American Civil War. ( even today in the South, Northerners are referred to as Yankees.) But then I noticed the clothing, styles, and even weapons were more akin to the early 19th Century than the later period. So then I realized this took place in Canada and the War was the War of 1812. I still found it intriguing. I knew York was the old name for Toronto and that there was still concern that the US would attempt to annex Canada (just as there was still fear in the US that Britain would still attempt to reconquer the US). But overall it was fun to watch as it helped me to understand Canadians further.
